Delete a domain

G Suite is now Google Workspace. Everything you need to get anything done, now in one place. Learn more about Google Workspace.

When you delete a domain, you immediately terminate your registration of that domain. As a result, the following occurs:

  • Visitors to your domain don't see your website
  • You do not receive email sent to email addresses at your domain (including email forwarding)
  • DNS stops serving
  • Other people can purchase your domain after a grace period, typically 30 days

Google Domains doesn't provide a refund if you have a remaining registration period for your domain.

If you use add-on services or platforms like Google Workspace, a blog, a third-party hosted website, or a custom DNS service, deleting your domain does not terminate those subscriptions or contracts. You need to sign in to each individual service and manage your account directly.

How to delete a domain

Follow the instructions below to delete your domain:

  1. Sign in to Google Domains.
  2. Select the name of your domain.
  3. Open the menuMenu.
  4. Click Registration settings.
  5. Scroll down to Delete domain.
  6. To the right of "Delete domain," click Delete.
  7. Sign in again to confirm your identity.
  8. Review the restrictions, and click Yes I'm sure, delete domain.

If you change your mind, for most domains, you have 30 days from deletion to restore your domain.

Other options to move your domain

Keep in mind that you can transfer your domain to another owner without deleting it. Options include the following:

  • Transfer to another registrar
  • Transfer to another Google Domains user
